Corrupt ex-AFP officer jailed for selling intelligence

A former Australian Federal Police officer has been sentenced to 22 months in prison for selling secret information.

Ben Hampton, 46, took $7000 and passed on AFP intelligence to a friend with connections to drug dealers.

The officer had been suspended in May 2014 after allegations surfaced through a joint taskforce investigation between the AFP, the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity (ACLEI), the NSW Police Force and the NSW Crime Commission.

Ben Hampton received $7000.

He pleaded guilty to dishonestly receiving a benefit which could influence a public official in their duties.

In court today, Hampton was told he had fallen from grace.

Crown Prosecutor Simon Buchan described his conduct as “undermining the integrity of AFP, striking at the heart of the administration of justice”.

“AFP members are expected to act at all times in a manner that upholds the AFP’s core values, and the organisation’s reputation and integrity,” a statement from the AFP said.
